Trade Surplus Questioned Amid Oil Price Impact
U S posted a April net trade surplus near 93 million but analysts doubt deficits are over. Oil price rises loom large as Morgan Guaranty forecasts a possible 5.5 billion 1974 trade deficit. Agricultural exports surge, lifting the agricultural surplus. 1973 showed 8 billion finished manufactures surplus, with early 1974 at 6.1 billion annual rate. Oil alone is tipping the balance as imported oil averaged 9.84 a barrel last month versus 2.78 a year ago.

It mentions a president with an automatic recording device and a priest, with fragmented asides about privacy, loyalty, and potential eavesdropping. The dialogue hints at Carolina hiding and a private conversation being overheard.
